Perhaps a better questions would be, can you train Google to show up at lunchtime EVERYDAY to your blog so it gets indexed immediately?

The answer is a resounding "TRUE".

In the new Hypnotic Marketing 2.0 bonus interview, David Ledoux tells how Google indexes his blog posts within hours of him writing, everyday around lunchtime. He explains everything in detail.

How can you do it?

"By becoming a recognized authority in your niche".

That's easier said than done, but how can you make Google think you ARE an authority in your niche?

Google doesn’t only keep track of how often you post on your blog with useful content. It also keeps track of how long each visitor stays on your site once he or she finds it. If they stay long enough, and don't immediately click the 'Back' button on their browsers, Google will love you.

It's simple as that.

A great way to do this is to add a video to your blog posts, or completely turn your blog into a “video blog”. This will increase the time people stay on your blog for two reasons.

One, people can’t “skim” through a video like they can through text. They have to let the entire video play out to get the full content out of it. And two, they can’t control the speed of the video so you can keep them glued to your blog for as long as the video plays.

Keep in mind though, you don’t want to make your videos too long otherwise people won’t stay. A short 5 to 10 minute video is much more effective in keeping their attention than a 30 minute or one hour video.

If you want to give the highest amount of value to your readers, include audio and text on your blog as well. Not everyone is going to want to watch, read, or listen. By giving them more than one mode of taking in content, they’re more likely to spend more time on your blog.

What’s amazing is that once you do this, you'll start getting traffic through the search engines that you won't be able to turn off even if you tried.

Google will come check out your content everyday at the same time, whether you're having lunch, dinner, watching TV, sleeping, or out of the house.

It WILL intrude, and you WILL benefit from it.

If you haven’t utilized this tool for your marketing yet, then you’re really missing out. NFL Head Coaches BEWARE…

The right marketing tool can have a huge impact on your lead generation and sales, but it can also make or break your credibility with your prospects.

And if you haven’t heard of Jim Fassel, he is a former head coach that led his team to the Super Bowl in 2001, and then lost his job a few years later (such is the harsh reality of professional sports).

Recently, Fassel got another chance to become the head coach for another team.

He didn’t get the job much to many people’s surprise.

But according to Fassel, what was single-handedly responsible for costing him the chance to become a head coach again…?

BLOGS!

In a recent article, here’s what Jim Fassel had to say about losing the race for the new head-coaching job:

“You know, you cannot hold the lead in these jobs in major markets… because you’ve got BLOGGERS, and they’re saying ‘No, this isn’t the right guy, and that ain’t the right guy’…”

Now, if this doesn’t open your eyes to the power of using blogs for your marketing, then I don’t know what will. They’re effective enough now to (supposedly) cost NFL head coaches their jobs, and open doors for other ones.

Go explain that one to ESPN.

Now, by no means are we advocating using blogs to destroy someone’s credibility. But they’re powerful enough to establish your leadership and earn you great respect in your market place.

It’s true that prospects are always eyeing you with skepticism, and they’re not completely sure if what you’re telling them or selling them is for real.

But when you shine in their eyes, they’ll follow you. You become their leader and problem solver. And blogs create a great way to let you do this.

They allow your readers to place comments and provide feedback, which FORCES you to provide high quality content that people will want to read and comment on.

In turn, your readers will respect you more and buy from you.

And since your blog is dynamic, it’s always changing with new articles and quality information. More good quality, updated content means more love and respect from the search engines!

Can you say “free traffic”?

In a day and time where it costs more to travel to get your groceries than the actual groceries themselves, it would be no surprise to see a correlation between paying astronomical prices at the pump and increased infidelity. Follow me here…

Let’s say my husband has a thirty minute commute to work in both directions. In his gas-guzzling 2005 Yukon (it seemed like a good idea pre-economic-meltdown) that we are too upside-down on now to trade in, that is a gas bill of nearly $250 a week. In the town where he works, a one-bedroom efficiency apartment rents for $450. For him to stay there, in this other town, away from his family and me for the entire week actually saves us $550. No little difference these days.

Now, my husband is a genuinely good guy. Being away from his family at night during the week is not going to make him cheat. But for some other men or women…overworked, underpaid, majorly stressed and now sleeping apart from their loved ones 2/3 of every month…not too big of a stretch to imagine that such a situation could result in a little extra-curricular “diversion”.

On the other hand, can we really blame everything on the economy? The media would like us to believe we can. The Democrats say it is the fault of the Republicans and the Republicans…they say the Democrats did it. Many people say in started in the housing and mortgage sector. Others say we can trace it back to 9/11.

I say this whole “economic crisis” is the best example of “Viral Marketing” I have ever seen. Long before there were actual signs of these dire straits, we were warned they were coming. Viral Marketing has commonly been referred to as “word-of-mouth” advertising…on steroids. You spread an idea to one “susceptible person” who then spreads it to at least two other “susceptible people”.

Because of the concept of doubling and “exponential growth”, pretty soon everyone is “infected”. This whole process…from seed to total saturation…is amazingly rapid because of the way it spreads…like a virus (former Intelligence Agent Mark Joyner explains this whole process—from idea to inception to annihilation—very well at www.viralmarketingcrashcourse.com).

Basically, the impending doom and gloom of the whole “economic meltdown” spread in this way. It transmitted globally in a manner that can best be described as “viral”. Therefore, it’s a great example of how this process can work—for positive or negative messages.

The good news? We can learn very valuable business lessons from this case study. These being, that if you want to spread your marketing message quickly and effectively, you need to: a) Develop a compelling message; b) Find a “hungry” audience; c) Provide some incentive (or result) that is so powerful that it makes the initial audience feel like they must tell everyone they know or they will absolutely die. If you can find a way to do those three things…there is no doubt that we’ll be reading about you (and your business/site/organization) in all the papers…very soon.

So you're a social marketer. You have your own blog, you're a proud member of "digg-nation" and you even Twitter…but where's all the traffic?

(If you're not a social marketer, but want to be one, then check out the Authority Black Book. It's hands-down the best step-by-step guide on how to get started with social marketing today. Get your free copy now at http://www.Trafficology.com/abb)

Let's face it…twitter is addictive. It's so much fun that you probably make a half-dozen posts a day without even trying. But if you want to use it to create traffic and sales then you must stop posting random notes about your daily routine and start using it as a way to communicate your marketing message to top prospects.

No, that doesn't mean you should start spamming all your twitter friends with a blatant sales pitch…far from it. Twitter is not a banner-ad network and the people who follow you will not tolerate "ads".

But just because twitter readers are accustom to receiving short, pithy updates about everyday life, that doesn’t mean they want to know about the baloney sandwich you just ate. There’s a line between interesting and personal, for Twitter to be a useful marketing tool you must stay on topic and on message. Every single post you write must work towards the overall goal of building rapport, establishing creditability, and driving people back to your blog or website to get more information.

If you lose sight of this, your posts will be ineffective and your readers will quickly abandon you.

So how do you find the balance between personal and profitable? Well, as a marketer, things you should be sharing on Twitter are:

• Updates on marketing projects you’re working on: “Just finished the final chapter of my new ebook…it goes on sale tomorrow” or “Only 3 copies left…this baby is almost sold out for good.”
• Customer testimonials: “Jan Thomas just used my system to beat her speeding ticket – good job Jan” or “Tommy Thompson just made $15,000 using what I taught him in last week’s seminar – see the full results here”
• Case studies: “I just wrote up the details of exactly how Mikey Myers set the new World’s Record”
• Blog posts you made: “I just made a great post about…”
• Blog posts you read: “I just read a great post about…” (linked to a summary on your own blog with a trackback to the full article).
• Tips and ideas you just came up with: “I just thought of a great new way to cook chicken…”
• Places you’re going to be speaking at in person: “Just agreed to speak at the seminar in Los Angeles next weekend (get your tickets now)” or “Just finished my presentation in Los Angeles, it was great…get a copy of the recording now at…”. Or, “Just had a great dinner with my friend and mentor, Johnny Smith here at the seminar, I’m so glad I came, wish you were here!”
• Teleseminars or webinars you’re giving: “Speaking with Mikey tonight about my new system, the call in details are:…” or “What a great call that was, get the recording now at…”
• Teleseminars or webinars you’re attending: “Listening to Ed and Eddy talk about….get the call in details on my blog”. Or, “Listening to the recording of last night's call…Matt is too funny, get a copy of the recording on my blog”.
• Books you are reading: “Reading: Waiting for My Cat to Bark (see my notes from chapter 1).”
• Things you read or saw that were interesting: “Just saw Simon in Whole Foods, maybe he was there to buy some of my yummy all-natural tomato basil pasta sauce”.
• Websites you are visiting: “Reading the recap of last night’s big game, not good…looks like they need some of my energy boosting vitamin drink.”
• People you are talking to: “Meeting with the bank about taking this thing public”.
• Things to get feedback from readers like polls or contests or trivia: “Just posted today’s trivia question, the first right answer gets a free copy of my new home-study course”
• Affiliate products you are reviewing (using your affiliate link): “Just got a FedEx delivery…I’ve only gone through the first 5 pages and I’m already amazed” or “Wow…while reviewing this product I discovered…” or “everybody’s talking about this thing, but I don’t like it, this other thing is much better”.
• Blog posts you are making, guest blogs you contribute to, articles you are syndicating, interviews that you are doing, any other content you are writing or sharing elsewhere: “Just wrote an article for this blog” or “Just posted my favorite article this week here…” or “Just got interviewed by Danny Dannon…I can’t believe he asked about the monkey”.
• Social sites you’re active on or forum threads you’re posting about: “Chillin out on Facebook…join me now by clicking here…” or “Just logged on to Forum.com, someone actually said…”
• Articles you are Digging…so people can go Digg what you are Digging too: “Just Dugg this great article about re-growing your own teeth (see all my Diggs from today right here).”
• Blog posts you are commenting on: “Left my 2-cents about what just happened at blog.com…I can’t believe they did that without telling anyone.”
• Updates for Affiliates: “Just posted the top 10 affiliate result for the promotion” or “Just delivered the new 2008 Hummer to our top affiliate, Robbie Robins” or “Just launched phase 2 – now’s the time to start sending out those pre-written emails to your list”.

Hopefully these ideas will help you get started effectively microblogging. It may be a little scary at first to share this much information about your life with the general public, but after you get the hang of it, I’m sure you’ll find it really quite fun.

Just remember that every post should link back to your site and always share something interesting about your marketing…you want it to be something so good that people will stop everything they are doing and click on your link, right now.

Enjoy,

Okay, so it’s not quite that “next generation”. But Six Apart’s “Blog It” is pretty darn close.

With this new software that is currently a plug-in for Facebook users, you can update all your personal blogs and services (10 are supported including Blogger, WordPress, Blogger, Twitter, Vox, Movable Type, etc.) at once. Then, your web-based social or business network(s) can be instantly informed about your post(s)—using Twitter and Pownce text-messaging services that shout out to all your buddies at once—no matter where they typically follow you on the Internet.

Never has getting a message spread been so rapid…and easy. But what really blows my mind is how connected the whole world is becoming. Yet, I guess “interconnected” might actually be a better word…The implications that this interconnectivity has for web traffic is immense.

In fact, many bloggers are already reporting big increases in traffic from using Blog It. Of course, many of these are currently people that work for the application’s parent company—TypePad. On the other hand, it is not hard to conceive that such a service would—and could—boost the amount of traffic such a personal blog network could attract.

One thing is for sure. The abundance of networking sites (personal, business and “blended”) and marketing within and through these networks seems to be here to stay. Yet, some of the bigger ones like MySpace and Facebook are actually experiencing growth losses while some smaller, more-focused, independents (like Windows Live Spaces) are rising in popularity and effectiveness. The trend seems to be moving toward diversification and segmentation of such communities based on things like demographics, hobbies, interests or industry.

It should be no surprise then that major players in the services and technologies are striving to come up with more and more software integrations like Blog It to dispatch information across multiple platforms quickly and easily—helping to create and achieve “openness”. Smaller newcomers in the social networking technology services and applications are trying to get their hands on a piece of this profit “pie” as well.

Likewise, almost every marketer, corporate professional…and “average-Joe” I know is using and participating in this form of modern-day networking to either generate revenue, increase visibility or to simply stay connected with friends and family. Even major corporations and organizations have profiles on some of the larger ones like Digg.

Therefore, so long as we don’t forget that traffic does nothing without quality content, we probably cannot afford to ignore this trend—or the applications like Blog It that help us to do so with reduced effort. I expect this is only the tip of the iceberg.

P.S. A new free video crash course featuring Mark Joyner finally shows you how to create
an unlimited amount of free web traffic…automatically. http://viralmarketingcrashcourse.com

Article marketing is no longer an overnight success like it used to be. After all, what is?

Don’t worry, it’s still a very effective way to market and get hordes of free leads for your business. But Christopher Knight of Ezinearticles.com wrote a series on how to properly use articles to drive traffic, and how it’s all changed.

Here is what he says:

"Ten years ago, if you were doing this strategy, a dozen to 20 articles was all that you needed to get all kinds of traffic from your investment in this strategy. Today, you need 200+ articles to begin to get the same return…

10, 100 or 1,000 articles may not cut it any more. You need thousands of quality original articles that work for you, 24 hours a day. Time to think bigger."

In other words, crank it up and take massive article writing action!

It may seem overwhelming, but it can be done in a very systematic manner that won’t take up much of your time. The only things required are persistence and PATIENCE.

So there are two options…

One is to write just a handful of articles (10 to 20) and submit each of them to dozens of article directories everyday.

The second option is to write hundreds of articles over time (2 or 3 everyday) and submit them to just a few directories daily.

For the first option (writing a small number of articles and using many directories), you’ll probably want to use article submission software. It makes it much easier to submit to several directories at once by automating the entire process.

There are a few good ones out there, such as Article Submitter and Article Announcer.

But from my experience, and from Christopher Knight’s suggestion, the second option will be your best option. It’s better to write hundreds of articles over time, and submit them to 3 to 4 directories that you know work best.

This will require consistent action, and some testing to see which directories are the most effective for you. If you’re going after popular keywords, it’s going to be highly competitive so you must be aggressive!

Here’s a way to short cut the process and get highly ranked in the search engine results.

Do a keyword research on your topic, and find the keywords that people are typing in everyday, but that are less competitive than other popular keywords. Look for keywords that show “buying” signals.

Keywords that have the terms “ebook”, “information”, or “how to” indicate that people are looking for your topic to spend money. Bingo!

Launch 25 to 50 articles with those keywords written in your titles and body of content. Submit them to 3 to 5 directories daily.

50 articles x 5 directories = 250 articles in circulation!

This is very possible to do. Create a routine and plan out your articles with topics and headlines. I suggest writing 2 to 4 everyday, and consider outsourcing some of them.

Eventually, you’ll have thousands of articles floating all over the net driving you tons of traffic everyday…

And it will cost you zero $.

Many people ask me if they will run into problems with the duplicate content penalty when distributing their articles online.

If "run into problems" means being penalized, then the answer is no.

What will happen if you submit identical articles to multiple directories is, after a while the duplicate content filter will spot them, and the links pointing to your website from those articles will not "count" in Google.

However, that doesn't necessarily mean that submitting the same article to multiple websites won't do you any good. Many times, the duplicate content filter will not catch every single one of the articles. (Webmasters will find your article on the directories and post it to their own website.)

Also, as of now (this will probably change in the future), most of those links will still count in MSN and Yahoo. And they send traffic too…

One thing I do not recommend doing is posting the articles you distribute on your own website. Always use unique content on your own site.

When it comes to article marketing, most of the benefit comes from the links you'll acquire.

Whether you use Isnare, Article Marketer, submit to the Top article directories, or use any other kind of distribution service/tool, it's always a good idea to setup a Google Alert for your article title and:

a) Track the results so you know which service is more effective for you. (Results can vary based on your market, and a number of other factors)

b) When a website with good PageRank and/or Alexa ranking picks up your article, contact the webmaster and offer them a unique article to post on their site. This way you both win. They get unique, quality content for free - and you get a valuable link to your website for free.

The more links you can get from websites with high PageRank, the better off you will be from an SEO standpoint. This is all covered in Step 7 - SEO Traffic, of the Nitro Blueprint System.

Bottom line, using something like Isnare or Article Marketer is very quick and will still get results.

Last time I checked, Article Marketer had a service that allows you to create unique versions of your original article, then distributes the unique versions for you. This is a great strategy, because unlike with Isnare, more of the links from those articles will count in Google, and won't disappear as the duplicate content filter spots them.

With something like Isnare, it's still effective for getting links. What will typically happen is, your article will be submitted to hundreds of places, and about 5-10 of those links will "stick" in the long run.

Don't forget there are more benefits from article marketing than just getting links. For instance:

• Some sites will pick up articles from article directories and send out to their newsletter subscribers. In that case, the duplicate content filter is meaningless.

• Also, regardless of whether the search engines count the link or not, there will be readers on other sites who will read your articles and follow the links back to your site.

• Plus, by getting your name out there all over the web, you are establishing yourself as an expert and authority in your niche.

Now get out there and start distributing some articles.
